"When I create something I want it to sound off and different to what people would usually listen to. I always try to take some kind of sound that people would hear on a day to day bases and turn it into something that would make them wanna shit their pants. My goal with music is to create something no one has ever heard before and express myself in every song. Some songs I even try to put in numerous meaning. Lyrically and the over all flow of the song could express different feelings but still somehow fit."

2_The Begining Of A New Horrizon: The Birth Of Wires & Decay

It was a late November night and I was pretty restless. I recently downloaded Audacity 1.3 so I can throw together a podcast and decided that I wanted to see what I could really do with this program, so I hooked up a mic to my laptop and started mumbling random things at different pitches and and tried to see what different modulations I could make. Eventually my voice became this strange fucked up drone thingy so I decided why not plug in my roommates guitar and mix the two together and by doing this I came up with an even more fucked up drone that was actually somewhat presentable. SO I tossed in a few more sound from the guitar and read an old poem of mine. Thus the birth of "Mucile", the first official Wires & Decay song. The next few days where all kind of mixed up. Lack of sleep, intoxication, and a motivated depression. I finished an 8 track EP in 5 days, including an additional cover song for a single (I believe singles should always have something extra or unique to the album it comes from). I had to stall for a few days a month at most be for I could release the EP because I needed to get some artwork done. I was making the music as a fun little project and because I had a lot of time on my hands. My friend LaptopBob told me that he's never heard anything like this and he was amazed by what I've created, and during the time I was fixing up "Kyss (part 3)" I asked him to say something, anything, so he grabbed the mic and mumbled a few words then when he finished I too his track, chopped it up and made it all kinds of different.

During the artwork for the first EP I consulted my dear friend William Pierce and he agreed to help me with the photos. He gave a listen to the music and loved it also. I released the album, and started to think about the next one. I didn't really think about making numerous albums when I did this, again, it was because I had the time and motivation to be creative. I figured I'd need an extra hand in case my brain gets too jumbled with ideas and explodes, So William agreed to be my extra noisemaker. He said that he still wanted it to be "my" project and decided that the only way for me to agree is to use Trent Reznor against me, he said "Trent uses a lot of people to help him out with the production of NIN albums and they are never really part of nine inch nails" (I can't remember exactly what he said but it was something like that). That tricky modest friend of mine had became the "Unofficial" member of W&D.

Currently I'm receiving a lot of help for my project, from friend giving me guitar and drum lines to play around with, to people getting excited to here what comes out next. At the moment their isn't much of a fan club, but I've only really been out for a month or so. I have a feeling more people will listen to this and I hope they do. I know that my current sound is somewhat under skilled but it'll get better, it always does. Wires & Decay is currently working on 2 EPs and 1 LP. I'm also trying to throw together a few of my early stuff and maybe some b-tracks from upcoming albums to release to everyone. Well I hope you all in enjoy the music and share it with friends and family and random people on the street.

1_The Introduction: Pre- Wires And Decay.

It all started back it 2006, with my first band to ever record anything. I've always had intrest and I've always written songs but it wasn't until me and my best friend Michelle, formed a band and actually tried to make something happen. We named the band Insanacide (a combination of insane and suicide). We where only known from friends to friends, and aside from every one in the band (two, sometimes 3 people) we probably had a fan base of 5, and none of which where even "big" on us (pretty sure they just wanted extra people on their myspace accounts, or we just failed to acknowledge their existence). We had little to no money, no resources, a shity keyboard (some kind of Casio off brand), and we recorded everything with a microphone through soundwave recorder (you know, that little program most computers and laptops come with where you can only record on one track). We fucked with soundwave recorder enough that we devised a system to record multiple tracks in one and the sound we managed to get out of it was pretty impressive. It was this kind of experimental / lo-fi /dark electro / trance, that we called "Shit-Tech" simply because the name fit. We managed to create a 10 or 11 track demo, one song was lost from all the movement (which happened to be the only song that had an additional person besides my friend and I). Along side of the demo there was also a story written for every song (I think I lost a few of them). Their was plans to make another album, we had album art, lyrics, and everything good to go except songs, by that time we both grew apart and had different ideas for how to make our music. Although we still talk about colliding again, we decided that its best to go our own ways with music then to argue over which way the band should go.

In 2007 I did very small help with another local funk / blues artist and close friend, [Jason] Rabid Dog Delong. I basically just listened and gave some advice/ideas. He still tells me he wants me to sing for him, but I don't want to, it's not my scene. I also did some work with another experimental band that me and my friend William called Pestilence. We recorded 3 song (I could only remember 2 of them), one of which was lost when his computer crashed.

In Late 2007 and 2008 me and my friends William and Mason decided to start remixing NIN songs as Ni_Nails. That project is still being done only we're trying to remix other artist as well. We decided that not only will it be the songs we remix but also the band's name (Ni_Nails as in Nine Inch Nails) and also the album artwork to fit the remixes. We currently have remixes of: Nine Inch Nails (Ni_Nails) Mindless Self Indulgence (MS-II), And 00tz 00tz (b00tz).

In 2009 I started working on some music with a friend of mine named Shakes. It was a lo-fi acoustic indie band, we recorded everything by tape recorder and both of us played guitar and sang. He was a far better guitar player then I and it was more of his project. But we both connected for one simple reason... we loved Nine Inch Nails and where both part of the NIN halo collectors. We ended up making about 5-8 songs together and planed on making more.
